Antimicrobial Textile Chemicals Market Segmented By Natural and Synthetic source with product such as Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Triclosan, Metallic salts, Polybiguanides, Chitosan, Natural Polymers
Textiles, with large surface area such as carpets, apparels, etc., under certain temperature and moisture conditions become vulnerable for microorganism growth. These microorganisms are not only harmful to human beings, causing various infections and diseases; but also lead to undesirable effects on textiles such as discoloration, odor and reduced strength of material.
Antimicrobial chemicals help to control the growth of microorganisms in textiles as well as maintain their physical strength. Use of antimicrobial chemicals in textiles have been known from long times, but recent research and developments have brought superior antimicrobial chemicals in the market which can be used easily with high effectiveness in all application sectors, including, indoor, outdoor, apparels, technical, and industrial textiles.
Antimicrobial chemicals are used in textiles in two different stages, i.e., during the spinning and during the finishing of textile process. In order to decrease health risks associated with infections from microorganisms, textile manufacturers are increasingly using antimicrobial chemicals in their products.
